Paper Bag Records is a Canadian independent record label, founded in 2002 and based out of Toronto, Ontario.

Originally the label was created with the intention of focusing specifically on the Toronto-area indie rock music scene, including bands such as Broken Social Scene, Stars, controller.controller and Tokyo Police Club but they have recently ventured out into the European indie rock scene with the 2006 signing of Denmark’s Under Byen and Figurines who were signed in April 2007. In July 2007, the label signed Swedish Italo disco singer Sally Shapiro and announced the North American release of her album Disco Romance.

The label was also responsible for releasing the See You on the Moon! compilation that featured indie rock artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Mark Kozelek, Great Lake Swimmers and Hot Chip performing songs for children.

In August 2007 issue of US publication XLR8R magazine, Paper Bag Records was voted #14 ‘Best Indie Label’. The list of 25 included larger indie labels such as XL Recordings, Astralwerks, Domino Records and ANTI-/Epitaph Records.

Paper Bag Records proudly announces the launch of Paper Bag Digital. Paper Bag Digital is scheduled to open its virtual doors later this month with the inaugural release of Sally Shapiro’s Remix Romance Vol. 2 on June 17th, 2008. Digital-only releases are also in the works for Woodhands, rare live highlights of The Acorn’s Glory Hope Mountain, and You Say Party! We Say Die! among others.
